She had an amazing voice, and the songs written by Erik van Vliet were so full of emotion. She also sang on Special Touch - Love Gun and the two Paparazzi singles 'Now Is The Time' and 'I Need Your Love'

I didn't know that Sisley sang on Special Touch. Good info - thanks for saying this here! Every time I listened to this record I knew the voice sounds familiar, but couldn't put a name to it. The sleeve reads "Special Touch feat. Jody." Did Sisely record other tracks under this name?
I too have that "Now is the time" track, but haven't heard of "I Need Your Love" - Is it worth tracking down this record?

She sang as Jody on I Need Your Love in fact! It's a great record quite similar to Attack's Special Love, well worth tracking down. Incidently she also song on Eye To Eye's cover version of The Deep which is one of the earlier Hotsound releases

I like the HOTSOUND releases and tracks by Kim Taylor as well. The remix of "Come Back To Me" by Prototype is a favourite of mine.

Can you give us some details about that Prototype track ? What year was it released ?

[Andy Farley]

He's All I Need is an amazing track. Give Me Your Love/For You/Special Love/Open Your Eyes and the Special Touch & Paparazzi tracks are amazing as well

The track was composed & arranged by Bibi E. Enriquez. Peter Vriens remixed the track (6'02" - 130 BPM), which was released on HOTSOUND in 1986 (licensed from Electricity Records). Amazing track.

Thanks
I will add it to my "wants list"

It's a good track. I am sure you will like it. I have never heard the original though. On Electricity Records the original mix was released under the name "Suburban Prototype" if I'm not mistaken.

Just been browsing through some of my crates ans looking at all the great releases on the PASSION label.. Many of the big hits were produced by the JOHN DAVIES/NIGEL STOCK team. I love the track they did with Kelly Marie called "Don`t Let the Flame die out".. A real corker of a track and great production work.

My fave Kelly Marie track Neil - so anthemic

That and Breakout - which I used to drive my dad mental with, as I played it over n over

Reminds me of the days of recording vinyl onto cassette on rainy Sunday afternoons.

I had a mate over (gay but not out) and we put a tape together which spelt the message out big time to his parents and anyone else who heard it.

Miquel Brown - So Many Men
Cinema - I Love Men
Eartha Kitt - I Love Men
Katie Kissoon - I Need A Man In My Life
Modern Rocketry - Thank God For Men & Homosexuality
Hazell Dean - Searchin (Gotta Find Me A Man)
+ others which escape me now - lol

Bless - he was CUTE and now can't remember his name
